1. Product Overview
Never attempt to lift the control box by yourself. Always use two (2) or more
persons with proper lifting equipment.
The Quick Disconnect Control Box was designed to work 12" and 16" GSI Series II Sweeps.This Quick
Disconnect Control Box modular design will allow you to move the control box to each sweep location,
therefore only one control box is needed to control all of the same size sweeps. Each sweep location
will require a docking station for the control box base to slide into. The control box base is supplied with
four (4) handles for manual lifting. These handles can be installed in any of the holes located on the
outside edges of the base back plate. The base back plate also has two (2) chain lift holes for
mechanical hoisting.

4. Introduction
There should ALWAYS be two (2) people in the work area.
A main power disconnect switch capable of being locked only in the OFF position
should be used. The disconnect must be locked in the off position before
unplugging either end of the cord. It should also be locked whenever work is
being done on the Series II Sweep. This has been integrated into the control panel
after June of 2010.
NOTE: The horsepower recommendations are for augering reasonably dry grain. High moisture grain
(greater than 15%) will require greater power for maximum capacity. The maximum capacity will
be less with high moisture grain than with dry grain.
Sweep drive and carrier wheels require plates or track over aeration flooring for travel and supports
not supplied with the sweep unit. Contact your installer or flooring provider for possible source
and details.
2. A magnetic starter should be used to protect the motor when starting and stopping. It should stop
the motor in case of power interruption, conductor fault, low voltage, circuit interruption or motor
overload. The motor must be restarted manually. Some motors have built-in thermal overload
protection. If this is the type of motor being used, use only those with a manual reset.
3. The motor starting controls must be located outside the bin. They must NEVER be installed on the
Series II auger inside the bin.
4. Disconnect and lock out the power before resetting motor overloads.
5. Disconnect and lock out the power before entering the bin.
6. Disconnect and lock out the power before servicing the equipment.
7. Position the reset and motor starting controls so that the operators have full view of the equipment.
8. Make sure electric motors are grounded.
PNEG-1366 12" and 16" Series II Sweep Quick Disconnect Control Box Kit 17
5. Assembly
The control panel must be mounted outside the bin near the door. The foot switch
has to be plugged into the control panel and depressed before the sweep is
operational. It has a 10' cord so the sweep can only be monitored from outside
the bin.
Docking Station Mount
Securely mount the docking station outside of the bin near the bin door. Figure 5A shows the hole pattern
and diameter. The docking station must be close enough to the bin door to plug in the 10' long foo t switch
cord. The operator must be outside of the bin and be able to depress the foot switch while visually
monitoring the sweep through the bin door.
